The sunflower was once a peaceful place of pollen and opportunity, but times have changed. As more and more bees have stumbled upon this yellow mine, greed has driven bee to turn against bee. Now the region has fallen into turmoil as many bees have claimed sole pollination rights. Amidst the lawlessness, dive-bombings have become a common occurrence. All bees are advised to enter the airspace at their own peril.
Okay, maybe there isn’t a pollination rights dispute, but since bees like flowers, I think it’s a fair assumption that bees don’t like other bees that like the same flowers. At least, that’s the only explanation I can think of for this territorial kind of behavior – they’re like hummingbirds that try to protect a feeder from other hummingbirds. I’ve seen bees being bullies before, but this was the first time I was able to successfully photograph them in action, and it was rather humorous.
